Government advice on single-sex spaces.

Here's what I don't understand about the advice coming from the govt., GEO, etc., in regards to single-sex spaces and transgender people accessing them.

Let's say a service provider has a single-sex provision for women. That service provider allows transwomen (for simplicity, transwomen without GRCs) to access that service.

What happens if a man requests access to the service?

My understanding is that any service provider can deny service to a trans gender person if (there is a specific phrase I can't remember) but basically if it impinges on the single sex users (as in the women if it's a women's service and men if it's a mens).

So if for example a trans woman is causing no problem and is legitimately/in good faith accessing a service then the provider can allow that. If a trans woman accessed a service and was being creepy/insincere in their motivation by being there then they have every right to remove them.
